<h3>Description</h3>
<tt>Binder2nd</tt> is a <A href="functors.html">function object</A> adaptor: it is used to transform
an <A href="AdaptableBinaryFunction.html">adaptable binary function</A> into an <A href="AdaptableUnaryFunction.html">adaptable unary function</A>. 
Specifically, if <tt>f</tt> is an object of class
<tt>binder2nd&lt;AdaptableBinaryFunction&gt;</tt>, then <tt>f(x)</tt> returns 
<tt>F(x, c)</tt>, where <tt>F</tt> is an object of class <tt>AdaptableBinaryFunction</tt>
and where <tt>c</tt> is a constant.  Both <tt>F</tt> and <tt>c</tt> are passed as arguments to
<tt>binder2nd</tt>'s constructor. <A href="#1">[1]</A>  
<P>
The easiest way to create a <tt>binder2nd</tt>
is not to call the constructor explicitly, but instead to use the helper
function <tt>bind2nd</tt>.
<h3>Example</h3>
Finds the first positive number in a list.
<pre>
<A href="List.html">list</A>&lt;int&gt; L;
...
<A href="List.html">list</A>&lt;int&gt;::iterator first_positive = 
       <A href="find_if.html">find_if</A>(L.begin(), L.end(), bind2nd(<A href="greater.html">greater</A>&lt;int&gt;(), 0));
assert(first_positive == L.end() || *first_positive &gt; 0);

The constructor.  Creates a <tt>binder2nd</tt> such that calling it with
the argument <tt>x</tt> (where <tt>x</tt> is of type
<tt>AdaptableBinaryFunction::first_argument_type</tt>) corresponds to the

</pre>
</TD>
<TD VAlign=top>
If <tt>F</tt> is an object of type <tt>AdaptableBinaryFunction</tt>,
then <tt>bind2nd(F, c)</tt> is equivalent to 
<tt>binder2nd&lt;AdaptableBinaryFunction&gt;(F, c)</tt>, but is more convenient.
The type <tt>T</tt> must be convertible to 
<tt>AdaptableBinaryFunction::second_argument_type</tt>.
This is a global function, not a member function.

<P><A name="1">[1]</A>
Intuitively, you can think of this operation as &quot;binding&quot; the
second argument of a binary function to a constant, thus yielding
a unary function.  This is a special case of a closure.
